In Japan, craftsmen who have inherited and improved their skills are the only ones worthy to be given the title “Master” or traditional craftsman. This is authorized by the Minister of International Trade and Industry.

Sakai knives have a 600-year history supported by the excellent skills inherited from generation to generation by Masters.

These elegant looking Sakai Takayuki Japanese Sujihiki Sushi Knives are made from Silver Steel No. 3 that is known to be rust proof and crafted following the blacksmith process of molding and polishing called “bladed” process. The silver steel is then squeezed into Damascus steel.
